The Watchman On The Wall

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Will Putin and Trump Rebuild The Jewish Temple?

Reader comment: Can you believe this? Extraordinary news since this is prophecy in the making.

In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2:4 it is written: "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God."

This prophecy cannot happen until a temple is built and so here is this request from the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. These are exciting times and as Jesus told us:

"When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Luke 21:28...............G F

RabbiHillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, announced that the election of Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as
the capital of Israel, coupled with Putin’s expressed desire for the Temple to
be rebuilt, prompted the Jewish court to send a letter offering the two the
opportunity to act as modern-dayCyrusfigures:
non-Jewish kings who recognize the importance of Israel and the Temple.

Cyrus the Great,
King of Persia in the sixth century BCE, announced in the first year of his
reign that he was prompted by God to make a decree that the Temple in Jerusalem
should be rebuilt.

Thus saithKoreshking
ofParas: All the kingdoms of the earth hathHashem, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath
charged me to build Him a house inYerushalayim, which is inYehuda.Ezra 1:2

Cyrus sent the Jews
under his rule back to Israel with a considerable sum of money with which to
rebuild the Temple. The Sanhedrin plans to call on the two world leaders to
take up this ancient Biblical decree and support the Jewish people in their
holy mission.

Rabbi Weiss
explained that the US elections have made the eternal Jewish dream a very real
possibility.

“We are poised to
rebuild the Temple. The political conditions today, in which the two most
important national leaders in the world support the Jewish right to Jerusalem
as their spiritual inheritance, is historically unprecedented,” Rabbi Weiss
toldBreaking Israel News.

The Sanhedrin’s letter notes that Trump’s victory was due to his support of Jerusalem, and reminds Trump of hiscampaign promiseto
move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, effectively recognizing the
city as the capital of Israel.The Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed in Congress in
1995, initiated the moving of the embassy, but has been vetoed since every
American president since. The Sanhedrin calls on Trump to withhold the veto
after he takes office.

The Sanhedrin also
recalled Putin’s connection to the Temple in its letter. During his third
official trip to Jerusalem in 2012, Putin paid a late-night visit to the Kotel
(Western Wall).When
he arrived at the holy site, the Russian leader stood in silence for several
minutes, offering up a personal prayer, after which he read Psalms from a
Russian-Hebrew prayer book.

An Israeli bystander
called out in Russian, “Welcome, President Putin.” Putin approached the man,
who explained the importance of the Temple Mount and the Jewish Temple.Chadrei Charedim, an Orthodox Hebrew news site, reported that
Putin responded, “That’s exactly the reason I came here – to pray for the
Temple to be built again.”

After this
remarkable exchange, the Sanhedrin sent a letter to Putin calling on him to
fulfill his prayer. At the time, President Putin did not respond to the
Sanhedrin’s request, but now that the incoming US president is a potential ally
in the project, the Sanhedrin believes it is time for Putin to take an active
role in rebuilding the Temple.

In addition to its
requests concerning the Temple, the Sanhedrin is also calling on Putin and
Trump to renew the 1920 League of Nations resolution known as theSan Remotreaty,
which essentially enabled the creation of a Jewish State by dividing the Ottoman
Empire. It incorporated the Balfour Declaration, issued by Great Britain in
1917, which gave official recognition and backing for the establishment of
Israel.

US President Calvin
Coolidge ratified the San Remo agreement in 1925, thus making recognition of a
Jewish State legally binding by US law. The Sanhedrin emphasized that it is
imperative at this time, when the Palestinian Authority is attempting to
rewrite world history bycampaigningagainst
the Balfour declaration, to strengthen the historic American commitment to the
State of Israel by readopting the agreement.

Rabbi Weiss
emphasized that supporting the Jewish claim to Jerusalem would bring benefit
Russia and America, as well as the entire world.

“The leaders of
Russia and America can lead the nations of the world to global peace through
building the Temple, the source of peace,” Rabbi Weiss explained. “This will
offset the disgraceful UNESCO resolutions that are theroot causeof
increasing terror and violence.”

Last month, the
United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO)
passed tworesolutionsdenying
any connection between the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish people,
ceding to Islam a religious monopoly on many of Judaism’sholiest sites.
